Cadillac SRX 2nd Generation (Theta)

2010–2016 · Theta Premium · suv

The second-gen SRX launched for 2010 on a fundamentally different platform from the first gen: the front-wheel-drive-based Theta Premium platform, shared with the Saab 9-4X. AWD optional. Initial engines were the 3.0L LF1 V6 (2010-2011) and 2.8L LAU turbo V6 (briefly, primarily Europe); the 3.6L LFX direct-injection V6 became standard for 2012 and ran through 2016. Six-speed automatic throughout. Three-row seating was dropped; this gen is two-row only. Replaced by the XT5 for 2017.

Watch out: Owner reports of timing-chain wear on the 3.0L LF1 V6 (2010-2011) are well-documented. The 3.6L LFX is generally more reliable but has reported high-pressure fuel pump and intake-valve carbon-deposit issues common to GM direct-injection V6s of this era.
